To be honest I think we could just ditch the apostrophe in contractions altogether. I cant think of a situation in which itd make anything less clear. At worst there are perhaps uses of the fairly rare non-contraction verb “cant” that wouldn’t be immediately clear

I’d be cool with that - I don’t care how we mark contractions just as long as we stop reusing apostrophes for it.
